In another reality is a Unova where Team Plasma succeeded in separating people and pokemon. Without the bonds that tie the two together, the region quickly devolved into a dangerous wilderness as pokemon had no trouble reclaiming their territory and driving humans away. It has been a decade since this 'Plasma Event', and things are slowly getting better. There's still work to do, and some still hunt for the answers of what really happened on the fateful day ten years ago at the Pokemon League, but for now you are trying to solve the mystery of what happened to the Abundant Shrine's missing guardian, Ninetails.
Hello there! I'm Ezekiel, or Zeke for short! It's been awhile since I've been truly bitten by the pokemon bug, but thanks to being bullied by my friends over the past month and a bit I'm gearing up to run a game. Inspired by the recent Legends game, spin offs like Conquest and the Orre duo, and... Death Stranding, I'm looking to take you on a romp across a dangerous world that yearns for connection and to rebuild the bonds lost. The land and creatures are harsh, but there is always hope.
Content warnings: human, pokemon, and animal experimentation and death, body horror, extreme weather and natural disasters, potential for PC and NPC permanent injuries and death, backstory child abuse, pregame major canon character deaths, supernatural and undead spirits and creatures, drowning
Livetext? We all sit down at the session time and play as normal for three to four hours - except instead of speaking we type! There is a dedicated channel for the game and another for dice rolling to keep things clean. Party splits rarely happen but there is a side channel in that case. I enjoy doing side scenes/roleplay in between main sessions when it is appropriate and encourage players to RP amongst themselves
Who? Looking for one or two more people to bring into the group. At the moment we have three players: a spoony bard who keeps getting possessed by ghosts and his honedge, a recently evolved houndoom gijinka trying to find their missing guardian, and a man trying to find the reason behind the typhoons that nearly destroyed the region again several years ago. Are you a Plasma grunt trying to make amends? An old trainer who is finally starting to rebuild a team? Someone who had hid in the Abundant Shrine under the protection of Ninetails, tucked away from the harsh outside world? Maybe you think you're the hero of the story, armed with a reBurst heart, ready to take out the bad guys!
What? 5e but we wiggle and reflavour some stuff to be pokemon themed. Normal attacks, cantrips, spells, abilities are instead treated like pokemon attacks - things like Healing Pulse being Healing Word, Ember is Firebolt and cantrip progression turns it into Flamethrower, your normal swords and bow an arrows turn into things like Cut and Bone Club and Bullet Seed. That said, those swords Team Plasma have are not just for show. We're playing fast and loose here, don't over think it!
Where? Discord with Avrae and, of course, D&D Beyond. I own a good chunk of stuff on ddb and can content share, anything you're missing I can organise for you don't worry. The game takes place 100% within a discord server.
When? Saturdays 8am EST/9.30PM ACST, weekly, sessions being three to four hours. Looking to start on the 30th of this month
Apps? Pop a reply into this thread, do not DM me. Introduce yourself, include your discord if comfortable, have a gossip about what kind of characters you enjoy playing and what you may be interested in playing in this game. Tell me what time the game starts for you to show you understand it. Feel free to ask questions but I've purposefully left out my wild gesturing lore dump and rambling on about expanding pokemon canon so not to overwhelm the post haha!
Hi, this seems super interesting, and the Unova region is my favorite from when i used to play all the time, and the system you have described feels like a good way to have Pokémon mechanics in a more typical game of 5e, and that seems to offer way more freedom than most Pokémon based table top rpgs. I think i would play a bug catcher arcane trickster maybe, using string shot as rope to climb around places, using mage armor as harden to increase my defense and a "butterfly net" rapier to try and help capture my opponents, or maybe something else, idk. for me it would start at 7am and my discord is allasdf#9506
Hi hi I am mega into this, I absolutely love the pokemon black and white story line and I wish they did more with it weeps
I'd play as a old trainer who only had their main pokemon left, the rest either going against my trainer or dying trying to protect him. They were on their way to the flying gym to challenge skyla when plasma first took over. They disliked battling without cause and mostly ran from team plasma unless he was forced to battle them. This dident last though and he was forced to set his pokemon free.Maybe a class with something with stealth or charisma specialties but I'm down to fit into whatever you need. For the main pokemon I'd like a zorark or zoura is one of my favorite pokemon from unova(ik they are mega edgy but I love their illusion abilty and feel like it could be useful) or a jolteon. Ofc I am down to change this to any pokemon if need be. I'm pretty open to any ideas and I'm down to change anything about my idea bbbb
I am a decently new player so I may ask a few questions but I do learn fast. My discord is Icarus#5802 bbbb! Also I am est so it would be 8 am
